Using the Ext ernal Trigg ering Sockets

Red = SPLIT/LAP/RESET, Black = Common,
Green = START/STOP

For an illustration of how the external triggering soc kets function, plug one of the
supplied leads into the bl ack socket. M om entarily touc hing the end of the lead to the
green socket is equivalent to pressing t he START/S TOP button. Momentarily t ouching
the end of the lead to the red socket is equivalent to to uching the SPLIT/LAP/RESET
button.

Example 1–

Remote START /STOP (usin g 2 leads)
Plug one lead into the green socket and plug the second lead into the black socket.
Momentarily touching the two leads together is equivalent to pressing the
START/STOP button.

Example 2–

Remote SPLIT/LAP/RESET (using 2 leads)
Plug one lead into the red socket and plu g the second lead into the black socket.
Momentarily touching the two leads together is equivalent to pressing the
SPLIT/LAP/RESET button.

Example 3–

Remote START/ ST OP an d SPLIT/LAP/RESET (using 3 leads)
Plug one lead into the red socket, plug the second lead into the black socket, and plug
a third lead into the green s ocket. Momentarily touching the green s ocket lead to the
black socket lead is equivalent to press ing the START/STOP button. Momentar ily
touching the red socket lead to the black socket lead i s equivalent to pressing the
SPLIT/LAP/ R ESET button. (Touching the green socket lead to the red socket lead has
no effect.) See the precedi ng instructi ons for the various functi ons that the
START/STOP and SPLIT/LAP/RESET buttons can perform.

All Operational Difficulties
